Formenton (undisclosed) was removed from Sunday's game in the third period for what coach D.J. Smith called "precautionary reasons," Ian Mendes of TSN 1200 Ottawa reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 22-year-old forward opened the scoring in a 4-1 win over the Capitals with a short-handed goal in the first period before taking a big hit from Garnet Hathaway later in the afternoon that could wind up being looked at by the league. Formenton has 11 goals and 22 points through 42 games in his first full season in the NHL, and if he winds up missing additional time, Ottawa could have trouble replacing him in the top six with Josh Norris (shoulder) and Drake Batherson (ankle) still on injured reserve.

Formenton notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 4-1 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Formenton helped out on Nick Paul's game-tying goal in the first period. The 22-year-old Formenton entered the All-Star break on a three-game point drought, but he didn't need long to get back on the scoresheet. The Ontario native is poised to see top-six minutes in the second half of the campaign. He's earned his first 20-point campaign with nine goals, 11 assists, 78 shots on net, 49 hits and a minus-1 rating through 38 contests.

Formenton scored a goal Thursday in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Formenton has put up five points (two goals, three assists) during a five-game point streak. He redirected a Victor Mete point shot past Frederik Andersen at the 5:50 mark of the third period.

Formenton scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Formenton began the game on the second line, but he was shuffled down to a unit with Chris Tierney and Adam Gaudette in the third period. That trio sparked the Senators' comeback, with Formenton setting up Gaudette before scoring a goal of his own to tie the game at 3-3. Formenton is up to 14 points (seven tallies, seven helpers) with 52 shots on net, 35 hits and 19 PIM through 28 contests. He's had multi-point performances in three of his last four games.

Formenton registered two assists, two shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Flames.

EDGE Analysis

Formenton and linemates Nick Paul and Connor Brown each had multi-point efforts Thursday. The 22-year-old Formenton assisted on both of Paul's first-period tallies. Since the start of December, Formenton has four goals and five assists in 11 outings. The second-round pick from 2017 is up to 12 points, 50 shots, 35 hits, 19 PIM and a minus-3 rating in 27 contests. Maintaining a top-four role will be key for him to keep contributing regularly on offense.

Formenton had a goal and an assist Saturday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Flyers.

EDGE Analysis

Fromenton stole the puck from Flyers defenseman Keith Yandle at center ice, broke in alone on Martin Jones and scored shorthanded to tie the game up in the second period. He has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last five games.

Formenton scored a short-handed goal and added an even-strength assist in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Both points came in the third period, as the Sens tried in vain to rally from a 4-1 deficit. Formenton has two two-point performances in the last four games, but those are the only times he's found his way onto the scoresheet over the last month. On the season, the 22-year-old has five goals and seven points in 21 contests.

Formenton scored twice on two shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Hurricanes.

EDGE Analysis

Talk about efficiency. Formenton needed just two shots and 9:41 of ice time to double his season goal total, helping Ottawa snap a six-game losing streak. Perhaps the 22-year-old winger still has another level to his game that he's yet to unlock, but Formenton's current fourth-line role on one of the league's worst teams just doesn't cut it for fantasy purposes.

Formenton was activated off the NHL's COVID-19 protocols list Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Formenton will likely be in the lineup when the Senators return to action Monday against the Avalanche. He's notched three points through 12 games this season.

Formenton entered the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The Senators now have eight players in the league's virus protocols. Formenton will need to submit two negative tests and pass a cardiac screening before being cleared to return, so for now, he can be considered out indefinitely. With Formenton on the shelf, Scott Sabourin is expected to draw into the lineup Thursday against the Kings.
